Most of the grade 6 learners often misspell words with 'i' and 'e' when writing compositions. Give two activities the teacher could use to remedy the situation.

1. Word Sort Activity: The teacher can create a list of words that commonly have 'i' and 'e' in them, such as believe, receive, friend, chief, etc. The students can then work in pairs or small groups to sort the words into two categories - words with 'i' before 'e' and words with 'e' before 'i'. This hands-on activity will help students visually see the pattern and remember the correct spelling.

2. Spelling Bee Game: The teacher can organize a spelling bee game where students take turns spelling words that have 'i' and 'e' in them. The teacher can provide a list of words beforehand for students to study, and then randomly select words during the game. This activity will not only help students practice spelling words correctly but also build their confidence in using 'i' and 'e' in the right order.

Activity 1: Word Sort

- Materials: List of words that commonly have 'i' and 'e' misspellings (e.g., believe, receive, friend, write)
- Procedure:
1. Divide the class into small groups.
2. Give each group a set of words.
3. Instruct the groups to sort the words into two categories: those with 'i' and those with 'e.'
4. Provide guidance as needed to help students identify the correct spelling patterns.
5. Have the groups present their sorted words and justify their choices.

Activity 2: I before E Word Hunt

- Materials: Text or worksheet containing words with 'i' and 'e'
- Procedure:
1. Write the "I before E, except after C" rule on the board.
2. Distribute the text or worksheet to students.
3. Ask students to highlight all the words that follow the "I before E" rule.
4. Once students have finished, review the highlighted words as a class.
5. Discuss any exceptions to the rule and provide examples.
6. Have students practice writing sentences using words that follow the rule.
